Neat stuff...I flew on Braniff 727’s from Panama to the US and back again during the 60’s and 70s...that video brought back some memories.

Back when flying was actually something to look forward to.

My first flight was 1954———our meal was served on real china.

Not a jet,of course. No jetway,walked across the tarmac and up the stairs.

Yep. Back when the meals were on china and the flight attendants were stewardesses. I wore a jacket and tie for my first flight. (Sigh!)

Braniff also had a large stock of DC-9’s as well but I always preferred the 727’s. I think the MD-Super 80’s are an upgraded version of those old DC-9’s.
